OT: I Did A Thing Today

My 2010 F250 gasser is starting to nickel and dime me to death, and is a crippled dog when towing Ol’ Mortimer. So I did my part to help the economy. 



What I don’t understand is why such a large truck (F450) comes with such small tires (225). Oh well, will go bigger when these are worn.

    They say that you can tell a mans money by his toys. You are obviously approaching Ron’s league my friend. 
    On a separate note, awesome truck. Enjoy my friend.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    Thanks Scotty. Really not much difference in price between 350DRW and 450 DRW when they are outfitted the same. We want to add a large 5th wheel in a couple of years so this gives us the capability to tow anything.

    Nice work Mike. 

    I always get a bit nervous when I hear a former bubble head, (really any former Navy personnel,but especially a bubble head) start a thread with, "I did a thing today"

    Hopefully the one thing you did (or will do) is filter some brown water through your kidneys.

    Nice color choice. It will tow any 5th wheeler while towing your Shirley behind it. Congrats!
